When Life gives you Lemons… Make Lemonade

This small saying is credited back to number of different people – but lots of famous people have used it so – who knows?  Dale Carnegie and Joan Collins are two famous ones that possibly should have received the credit.

After the announcement of yesterday of Misty Hollow Carving not receiving the placing first of its video because of internal issues inside of the CFDC world – I found myself with some Lemons to suck on – in my thinking. Writing about it helped a little but doing something was far more important.

By the end of the day I had made some huge changes and it all can be credited back to the Lemon Announcement from CFDC. Thanks Mysterious CFDC Fold!  (See http://murraylincoln.blogspot.ca/2012/07/you-win-some-you-lose-some-tough-love.html)

A couple of things that I changed toward making Lemonade is two additions to this Blog Format. Take a look at the Sidebar to your right… right about here - - ->

You will find a new “My Testimonial of Misty Hollow”. There are two Links in this section – one to the Video that I have referred to already and another to my friend Chris Oliver of www.CCOProductions.ca

The second Gadget added is my new “Follow by Email” Link that allows frequent followers of this Blog to receive the posting via email. This is a test for my Blog to see if it meets the need that some have expressed with slower Internet Connections and also a busier life style.

The BIGGEST Batch of Lemonade that I made was with the exciting adventure on Digital Images and the Web Site that is now being updated to sell a huge amount of Misty Hollow Digital Images. A whole new marketing campaign was worked on and the Web Site being loaded – as of YESTERDAY – the Day Lemons dropped around me.

I cannot tell you how excited I am to have accomplished this huge step forward. This is equivalent to the launching of Misty Hollow way back in 2008.

This Blog will be the first place that I make the announcements when we go completely live.

So I made Lemonade – good, cool, sweet lemonade – and it tastes good!
